Go to alaska bud. Do gates of the arctic, Colorado has gone downhill since the Patrick swayze red dawn days
Eh you just need to get off I-70 and its still legit. The entire San Juan range is all small town goodness and much of Sawatch has a great feel too. Leadville is one of my favorite towns. I couldn't get away from Aspen fast enough, and Vail (was suuuuuuper high) felt like a damn comic/storybook.
I do need to get out to AK, but I'm not a hardcore bushwhacker. I like to drive out / park, hike up to treeline / set up camp, sleep, light-pack to speed run summit(s), then back down to camp to pack up and get out to go have a beer and dank food back in town.
Basically I'm the shitter casual of hiking...with an affinity for exposure when climbing.
Next goal is Capitol. There's a guy in the 14ers FB group that does guided groups for free. He just loves the route that much.
